These beautiful wooded tracts of land, with a meandering stream, beckon you to come make it yours. The 17.9 acre parcel could be an ideal location to build your dream home or a peaceful cabin get away. Combined with two more parcels, one adding 8.62 acres and the other adding about 5 more acres, your piece of peace totals over 30! Imagine, camping, hiking, birding, or hunting on your own private reserve or just enjoying the serenity of the clearing enveloped by the forest. About 10 minutes to Cunningham Falls State Park and about 5 minutes to Mount St. Marys College, you are not far from more outdoor recreation or access to many conveniences, including ease of travel using Route 15. Sellers do not guaranty or insure buildability of the lot and the Buyer is to do their own due diligence regarding feasibility to build and verify intended use with the county.
